Things that are beginning to annoying me

[Azubi]

people who ask "can i help you" as soon as you walk into a shop (one day i will hit you)

 

I hate those annoying people in restaurants who come up every couple of minutes asking if everything is alright with your meal. YES IT CHUFFING WELL IS, JUST LIKE IT CHUFFING WELL WAS 2 CHUFFING MINUTES AGO NOW CHUFF OFF!

 

[Skarclaw]

Don't be so quick to judge, its probably not thier fault.

 

At work, we are told to greet people as they come in the store (this is usually just a hello or whatever, but also "can I help" etc) Reason being, we get sent mystery shoppers to evaluate the staff, and something like 16% of the mark is if the mystery shopper was greeted upon entry, and there are also points for asking if they would like help. Thats probably why, I'm almost certain that if we didn't have mystery shoppers operating, we wouldn't have to do it.

 

 

[Azubi]

Although I agree to an extent and showing a bit of interest is often quite nice, when you are interupted literally every two minutes by the same member of staff then it gets annoying.

 

It's more of a specific place that annoyed me as most places are generally all right.

[darkchild130]

Humanity annoys me with its tedious, meaningless existance.

 

i dont like little dogs either.

yapyapyapyapyapyapyapDIE!!!!!

I really really really hate people who dress those yappy litte dogs in clothes... I mean for godssake! Theyve got fur they dont need a bloody sweatshirt! And no.. it is not cute.

[TheFinn]

I hate stupid people in general... I don't know what I would do if I went a day with out encountering stupidity... Like people that walk through the shop door (which has all of this information on it) and ask about the opening and closing times, etc. YOU JUST WALKED BY IT!!!

Now i'm going to jump on the wagon.

 

I hate it when people say, "Why don't you just cheer up a bit?" Whenever i hear this, i want to stab them in the neck with an umbrella, in a way that can only be described as deeply & morbidly pornographic.

 

If i want to damn well be a moody old sod, i will. Also, most of the time, it's not an act - i really am a moody old sod (i'm 23 & Basil Fawlty is me in 25 years). If it was just as simple as 'cheer up' don't you think i would you old dithering cretin?

 

Someone telling me to 'cheer up' makes me more grumpy - when people realise this, i MIGHT smile... might.

 

Also, people in general who want to make something so simple, complicated. I work in a bespoke tailor shop in London. You'd think people in London, who make million pound deals every five seconds, would be able to comprehend the concept behind a 'cash deal'.

 

Or, someone who orders a suit, pays for it, then waits TWO YEARS to come pick it up, only to say, "It don't fit." Maybe, it doesn't fit... because in the TWENTY FOUR MONTHS it's taken you to come in... you've eaten what can only be described as Ronald McDonald's entire ad campaign of 'food' seven times a day. Fat greedy Cee U Next Tuesday.

 

I really hate people. Lots.

Simple game, pretend to be one. My bro got *mugged in the bottom* by a mystery shoppper. So my mum decided to pretend to be one in sainsbury. Took a clipboard and ticked it 'discretly' and everything - mysteriously, they had EVERYTHING she wanted.. and now do everytime she visits. Never did before.

[thewallhitme]

school. Alevels to be exact. too much work, not enough time.

[Hedganian]

Pft, A-Levels. When you get a real job, you'll be wishing you were back there.

[Chimpy]

God no! I love my job and hated A-Levels.

[askeytheman]

At the time GCSEs and Alevels are really important..

 

Get into the real world and they don't matter a bit.. Same with degrees, you've got it - good for you!

 

People who worry about things, anything for that matter, annoy me. Exams? How can you be worried AFTER the exam, you've done it now face it!

[thewallhitme]

naw, i will not get a job that involves listening to a teacher talk about biology i do not understand, writing history essays that i only half care about, and german, a language i cannot speak no matter how hard i try. DT is fun tho...

[Azubi]

Why did you pick A-level subjects you have no interest in?

[Pablo]

Masochism.

[thewallhitme]

lmao, i did have interests in them at GCSE level, but they are boring now.

[Punkypink]

Why did you pick A-level subjects you have no interest in?

That's very normal where I come from. Even at 17 many of us have no say, we're supposed to do everything our parents think is best for us. Luckily I've seem to have trained my parents to think otherwise.

[cazboab]

The legendary efficiency of the NHS, first my granddad has to wait two freakin' hours last week for an ambulance cos a "suspected" broken hip in an 80 year old diabetic isn't an emergency according to our GP(though both paramedics who did show up said it was, and two or three different doctors at the hospital), so his blood pressure and sugar level goes up which means when they do the test for heart attacks they show up possible heart problems, so they can't operate on the hip till today, cos of the blood thinning stuff they put him on. Fair enough. So they phone us today to say he's not getting the operation and that the details will be explained when my mum gets there, worrying the hell out of her.

 

Turns out they don't have a hip his size, cos they forgot to order it. Seriously, its worse then bloody quick-fit.

[L4byr1nth]

'Kwik-Fit', innit?

 

And lay off the NHS. If we didn't have so many other things/people leeching from the government's budget, it might be in a damn better state than it is now.

 

I hate the Student Loan Company. Let me explain;

 

Dad and mum's combined income was over the threshold the government set for low-income households, and thus I only get a fraction of the grants/other monies everyone else is getting. It is taken that your parents will help you out if they earn over the set limit.

 

Trouble is, my mum, who had a good job, retired recently. It has also been a life goal of theirs to buy a small boat, which they have done. That eats up most of the pension, and with my dads fairly average to low income (he works for the NHS - he's a steam engineer) paying what's left of the mortgage, 'leccy, gas, water, council tax (Barstewards! The town is a shithole!), etc etc, they're mainly potless.

 

The SLC refused to base their household income estimate off my mums' pension, and instead took her salary from her old job. So not only does the Tuition Fee loan NOT COVER MY TUITION COSTS!!!!, the Maintenance Grant is virtually nothing.

 

I'm starting my second year in October. I'm still living at home, approx. 5 - 10 miles from the Uni, and miserable. All my friends are in student houseshares, and I can't afford it. Instead, I have to commute everyday by bus (£3.50 a day!), and I can't really go out at night, as I'm always worried about getting back, bus times, etc.

 

Hardly any of them have jobs, because they don't need them. I'm looking for a job at the moment, but it would mean going straight to work after uni, 14 hour days, etc., and to top it all off, even if I worked the maximum 20 hours a week, I still couldn't afford to move out.

 

What can I do?

Damn, I'm in the same situation, with the exception of having finished college and lost work after a year (they booted me out due to my opinions about the marketing dept., AKA two clueless *fruitcage*s who don't know *suitcase* about video games and try to "promote" the site in such a way it'll wither away and die soonish). I tried everything: bookstores, nearby airsoft & airgun store, two local videogame distributors, I've even been to a casting today.

The toilet at home always smells bad after my Dad's used it, & he always leaves skid marks...

I can't eat as much as i could a couple of years ago.

I'm tired.

The local supermarket doesn't sell Wagon Wheels.

My boss smells funny & doesn't do ANYTHING all day.

There's a mole on my back that's annoying me.

I always get the same bus driver, who can't drive.

The tube didn't stop at my stop today because the station was closed.

Natwest employees in Fenchurch Street in London, can't speak English & the ones who can are stupid.

I have over 400 DVDs & can never decide what to watch.

HMV take ages to order anything despite Penny telling me different.

I can hit a target fine with a 1911 pistol... but have never scored (aside from a bang kill) a kill with my M79 grenade launcher.

I've got a small cut on my thumb.

My dad keeps leaving the lights on in the house.

The supermarket also stopped selling the tea i always buy.

My back hurts, lots.

I seem to be weeing alot lately.

My boss is currently picking his nose & flicking nose goblins across the shop.

There are no friendly cats in my area.

The 213 or 151 bus i get on to go to Sutton always smells of vomit.

People keep stepping on my shoes on the tube.

On the tube, i always get the sweaty balding construction worker rubbing up against me, instead of a cute redhead office worker.

On MSN the same person keeps logging in & out & in & out constantly.

My fingers hurt from typing things that are begining to annoy me.

The bread at home has gone mouldy.

I'm not lazy, you try trolling around 500 houses carrying bag after bag of junk mail, delivering it to people who don't want it, getting moaned at, having your fingers chewed by the letterboxes of ignorant morons who don't install them properly and getting attacked by dogs who "never bit anyone before".

 

But thats your job! My boss in work decided not to do her job for a few nights, just because it was damned busy. This meant everyone else working under her had to work twice as hard as they would have if she only pulled her finger out. This resulted in a few of us getting severly annoyed and threatening to quit unless something is done.

 

If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. This isn't aimed at you at all amateurstuntman, but having a difficult job is not an excuse to not actually do the job your being paid to do!

 

Also, people in resteraunts will continually ask you if you are enjoying your meal for two reasons.

1. If there is a problem they can sort it out right away.

2. If there is a problem you can't complain and get your moeny back at the end of the meal, beacause option would ahve fixed the problem.

 

Some people take great delight in trying to get freemeals by claiming somethingwas wrong. we had a couple in a few weeks back who expected not to pay, despite eating their entire meal and having a sweet, "because it was too salty". Because they were asked whether everything was ok for them several times and they agreed, they didn't get very far.

 

CCL online is by far the worst online retailer i have ever had the misfortune to use. The constant misinformation (read lying) from the emails and phone conversation was shocking. Do not ever use them!

+The cost of ammunition (.45 Auto started the year at $10 a box of 50 cartridges. Now it's $15).

+The cost of firearms (eight years ago $750 USD would get you a brand new S&W Model of 2000 Schofield and four years ago $1700 USD would get you a brand new FS2000. Today, you can't get an Uberti Schofield imported by anyone for that amount unless you're a dealer and the FS2000 is running around $2300 USD).

+The cost of food (one week I walk into a grocery store, spend $3 on a half gallon of orange juice. I return the next week and it's gone up more than a dollar).

+Bush haters (you've had eight years to hate him and you haven't come up with anything new in the past two years, but miraculously miss your own faults in the meantime).

+AR-15 haters (you've had forty years to hate it and you have yet to come up with anything new. Not only has it been old for a long-*albatross* time, it's also blatantly false for the most part).
